All Chapters of After Awakening, I Taught My Adoptive Sisters and Fiancée a Lesson: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

They wanted me to become like the man who had taken over my body, willingly handling everything for them while pleading for their sympathy.They wanted me to beg for their sympathy by letting them abuse me.Instead, I merely lifted my chin.“Before we cut ties for good, someone take all of them to Southgate!”The three of them froze.I stared at them coldly.“You’d better pray that damned water park hasn’t been built yet!”…As soon as we reached Southgate, the enormous water park made it hard for me to breathe.The starry-sky art complex Dad designed for me was nowhere to be seen.The patterns he painstakingly drew, and the artwork he struggled to create for me while hooked up to a ventilator, had all been reduced to dust.“After people die, they become stars.“Son, you’ll be able to see the stars whenever you look up inside the buildings I designed.“If you miss me, go there and take a look.“I’ll always be with you as a star…”“Dad…”My eyes reddened, and tears threatened to spill o

“Stop pretending. You make me sick.”I froze.I looked at Cade, whom she was shielding tightly behind her.I immediately understood.She thought Cade was the one who saved her back then?“Ace, now that you’ve seen the witness, you can see yourself out.”Anna’s voice was cold.“The Ashfords have no place for you after what you did to Cade.”Alice and Abby had already been untied. They stood protectively in front of Cade with looks of disdain.“It’s long past time for the Ashford heir to be replaced.”“Exactly. If a calculating, cruel, and jealous man like him leads the Ashfords, they’ll end up ruined sooner or later!”“What can he do besides putting on a pathetic act to gain our sympathy and plotting against Cade behind our backs?”“A man like him doesn’t deserve to call us his sisters or become a Lowe family son-in-law!”“Once we drive this bastard out, Cade can take over everything that belongs to him. It’s what he owes Cade.”Anna listened to them and turned coldly toward me, who sto

I grabbed the dagger and moved to slash my own wrist.“Ace!”Ruby and Anna suddenly shouted.But before they could stop me, my hand froze as if it had been locked in place. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t bring the blade down.My hand trembled as I forced it downward and spoke to the mechanical female voice in my mind.“Keep forcing me, and I’ll kill this body. Your host will lose its vessel too, and your human-trafficking scheme will go down the drain!”We remained locked in a struggle for two or three seconds.A sigh echoed in my mind.The force restraining my body suddenly vanished, and I crashed to the floor with a loud bang.The dagger fell beside me.Ruby, Anna, and the others had looked tense moments ago, but they finally relaxed.Then they sneered.“What is it? You chose this pathetic act yourself, but you can’t keep it up?”I shakily pulled myself up with the chair.I wiped away the blood from my nose.“Someone, take all of them away.”“Stop!”Anna’s voice was cold.She

“I raised them, fed them, and gave them everything, yet a few words from another man were enough to turn them against me. They won’t realize what they’ve done until they pay for it!”“Enough!”The boy’s angry shout was choked with tears.“Can’t you see that they’ve already swallowed their pride and humbled themselves before you?“You know they’re all powerful women in their own right. Isn’t the fact that they’re willing to humble themselves like this proof that they know they were wrong?”“Besides, they already know who truly saved them. They only hurt me because they believed Cade was the one who saved them. Why are you still holding it against them? They were once the people closest to us!”I sneered.“Then let me ask you this. Didn’t you see how little it took for them to learn the truth? All they needed was one phone call!”The boy fell silent.“Alice and Abby could have found out who was in the hospital and who had gone to the sanatorium with one phone call.“So why couldn’t they

I had just been dragged out of the water dungeon.Alice and the others snorted coldly.“What? You finally stopped pretending to be dead?”“Exactly. We only asked you to apologize to Cade, yet you acted like some virtuous martyr.”“Now kneel and apologize properly to Cade. If he’s satisfied, we’ll consider not cutting ties with you.”Ruby supported Cade as he glanced at me, his eyes immediately filling with grievance.“Mr. Ashford… It’s all right. I understand why you claimed credit for rescuing them.“After all… They had known you long before they met me. It’s understandable that you feared I would steal them away.”The women frowned.“Even so, he shouldn’t have treated you like that!”“Exactly! What does it matter who came first when it comes to true love? That bastard was the one who stood in the way of our love!”“Ace Ashford, kneel and apologize!”I gently clenched my fist.In an instant, bolts of electricity transformed into snakes and coiled around them.I clenched my fist tightl
